[scribus] Creating multi- page magazine

Wed Oct 10 10:22:55 UTC 2012

Yes Owen
I can see ODT, text file, but it wont import into Scribes, the text box 
which is highlighted too. As I said I can copy and past the text into 
Scribus but not the underline, bold, or italics.

Greg you say,
“You need to make sure you do not check Import Text Only.” But surly 
there is no choice in this matter! Is there?

However, it seems as if some on this forum can import without losing 
the text stile. I have asked the question several times without an 
answer, TELL ME WHAT VERSION OF  Open Office you use?
THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM

Makes no difference to the problem.

It looks to me like whatever call is used to obtain the information 
that is
supposed to be put into the dialog is simply hanging, so the 
information is
never available to display on the screen.

Try changing the directory setting in Preferences and see if that makes
any difference.

yep, that's the negative side of having only one mailing list for
development and user support topics.

we are a relatively small community, so it's hard to separate all the
different "worlds".
and it's also nice to see simple users slowly becoming developers!

i don't know there is a need and a way to better separate the users and
topics...
mostly, we have to rely on the users not to hijack topics :-)

but, maybe, we could find a way to better tell the people that they
don't have to read every mails getting in through a mailing list, that
they can pick the threads that are interesting (and understandable) to 
them!
i know many people that have the feeling that they have to read (and
understand) everything... it's even rather common...

this is something that certainly will come, once the footnotes are in

I do not have that much time at the moment.

Mine are currently more linked to mosquitoes.

I assumed that you meant:

Edit | Preferences | General | Documents

When I do that and hit the "Change" button... I get a "Choose a 
Directory"
window that never populates.

That, presumably, is a big, fat, hairy clue to the cognoscenti.

PS FWIW, the actual entry currently in the Documents part of the dialog 
is my
home directory: /home/n7dr.

Greg,

I have tested a peace of text in  Open Office and saved a file in ODT,
but that wont even import into Scribus 1.4.1. I can past the text but
no stile at all.

My OS Windows XP Pro What is LO/OO there is a few reference to this in
the mail?

How strange.  For the last several years I've been creating my weekly
contributions to an APA (Think of it as a two-page newsletter.) in Open
Office until Fedora migrated to Libre Office and importing it into
Scribus for formatting with no problems.  In my case, however, all of
the styles are imposed in Scribus.

Not totally sure what I'm signing on for, but I have years of PHP
programming experience.  Count me in if you need me.
